| When the vehicle had only 12000 miles my front tires were completely bare (like racing slicks). was taken to 2 dealerships and they looked at the van and found nothing wrong that would cause the tire wear (alignment was fine). i fought and fought with chrysler to pay for them, which they finally did about 3 weeks after the problem was addressed. now my vehicle has 15000 miles and while driving all you can hear is noises (almost like road noise but its from the front end). most likely, wheel barings, ball joint, tie rods etc. on 10/21/11, while pulling out of my driveway low and behold what do you here, nothing but the sound of griding brakes. no sign of brake having a issues the day before when driven. this particular van that i purchased brand new (with 2 miles on it) clearly is a lemon and has faulty parts or something majorly wrong with it. none of these parts of the vehicle should be going at this amout of miles. as always, chrysler and its' dealers say there is nothing wrong with the it. | |||

| The engine on my 2010 dodge caravan shuts off while i am driving. it has happened 4 or 5 times in the last 15 months. i have usually been driving at a speed of 35-45 mph. since the power steering shuts off, i cannot steer to the side of the road. i have to push the braked really hard to come to a complete stop and turn the key to the off position. i then have to restart the vehicle. i am very concerned about driving on the freeway and having passengers in my vehicle. i have taken it to the dealer twice for this problem and since they cannot re-create the incident, they cannot explain why it happens. there have been no modifications or repair attempts made. i found a similar recall online chrysler recall number l02, but when i called dodge/chrysler, i was informed that my vehicle had not been recalled for this reason, although others the same year and model have been recalled. i was advised by a person at dodge/chrysler to take my vehicle to the dealership with a copy of this article to see if they can figure out what the problem is. i am taking the vehicle tomorrow. | |||

| While driving (not in idle or stopped) all of the safety lights on the dash board turn on and about 10 seconds later the car shuts off and the power steering locks. the vehicle can be switched to park and will start up again. this has happened at least five times already. i have taken the van to the dealership twice and they are unable to find anything wrong. twice this has happened while in traffic luckily no one has rear ended me. | |||
